NeuroAffective Touch® is a gentle, body-based approach to healing emotional trauma.
NeuroAffective Touch® is a pioneering therapeutic approach that brings together the power of touch and the depth of psychotherapy. It was developed by Dr Aline LaPierre – psychotherapist, bodyworker and founder of the NeuroAffective Touch® Institute – and bridges the gap between traditional talk therapy and hands-on bodywork.
Why is that important?
Because our earliest experiences of connection and safety are non-verbal. Long before we have words, we learn about the world through our bodies – most often through attuned, caring and nurturing touch. When those early needs aren’t fully met, it can result in developmental or relational trauma that we carry through our lives. And talking alone can’t always reach the parts of us that have been shaped by those early embodied experiences.
